I have attended other seminars, but this one is very different. In this one you don’t only listen, but practice. I can immediately apply what I learned in my village church planting work.

I wished I had this before. I had stage fear and often I did not take initiatives because of fear. That fear is gone.

This training has clarified vision for the future and has given me the tools that I need to make this a reality.

I don’t remember ever having had two weeks of more intensive training, and I don’t believe I’ve ever had two weeks of training that excited me more

his course contains so much that I would have loved to have received as a young leader in Iran, India and Bangladesh. We count it a privilege to be involved in this mentoring process of ploughing back some of what God put into us.

For me this course has been a life changing experience. I must admit that I have attended many other leadership courses and this one is the top of the notch. I mean it is the best one I have ever attended so far. I can sum it up by saying: Skill empowerment. By that I mean Communication Skills, Relationship Skills, Management Skills, Life Management Skills, Ministry Skills, Training Skills, Creative Thinking & Decision Making Skills and Public Relations. I could have not have asked for any more than these. When I returned from Brisbane, we were just finishing our Orientation. I was asked to do my final session on Communication between office and missionaries on the field or the sending churches and supporters. One skill that I learnt was in the area of How to Lead a Workshop. Without delay I used the toolkit on how to lead workshop. My topic was on How to have good communication between the OM office and the missionaries on the field. Guess what? I applied the skills I acquired at the LMC on How to lead Workshop. It really worked. I was able to draw a lot of feed back from the team rather then me giving all the answers. The next day we had a farewell meal for all the trainees and again I was able to give my talk using the Modular speaking technique. Again it worked very well. Later my wife told me that my way of presentation upfront really improved.

The combination of the level of spiritual maturity of the Christian leaders who give this training, with the professionalism in their training skills and the fact that different missions work together in this course is unique in the world.

It’s been a real delight to see the growth and development of LMC and to hear testimonies now from scores of people who have been thoroughly blessed and really helped by their attendance at these training events. I have participated in the very first course that OM was involved in, which was held in Zaventem in 1995. I do remember still today some of the sessions, particularly that David Cummings gave at that time.

The LMC could be called: “What I should have learned in seminary, but no one ever told me.” I walk away from this not only with knowledge about what I should do, but knowing how to do it.

I lead the Global Action Leadership Training on the Doulos with 34 participants. Again and again I thank God for the LMC that I attended and where I learned so much. After the LMC I had more confidence and a clearer picture of the Global Action Leadership Training I am responsible for. In addition I could speak in leadership conferences for local future leaders!

We have been immensely blessed by the two weeks of the Leadership Matters Course, one of the best trainings we ever attended. The subjects are condensed synergistic gleanings of effective and proven methods of godly principles that can be applied easily in life. The simplicity in which it is taught, the group exercises, role plays and assignments ingrained into your life will not only impact you, your church and community, ministry, people who come in your life, but will surely alter your core values, transform your world view into a new paradigm.
